Chapter 2097 - Giving a Touch of Lip Color to a Sunny Morning

Cleary soon waited until Boss Azathas returned, but was dragged out the door to the mansion's rose courtyard, where she sat down at one of the wooden benches.

By some of the light coming from inside the house, Cleary noticed that Boss Assashears was looking a bit heavy at this moment.

"Old...Boss, is there something you want to say to me?"

"Keri, do you remember, the first time we met."

Cleary was startled by the words, then nodded gently and whispered, "I remember."

A lifetime will remember.

She added silently in her mind.

Azazeles patted Keri's head and smiled, "At that time, you were just about as tall as my waist, so thin that you were like a dead branch. You fell down in the snow, and I don't know how long you were unconscious, but we thought you would not be saved."

Keri whispered, "You saved me, boss, you cuddled me all night and kept me warm with your body, and even frostbite yourself later ......"

Mr. Azaccheus smiled casually and suddenly asked, "Cleary, can you remember now what happened in the past?"

Cleary shook her head.

There was a secret, and that was that her memories only started from the moment she was returned by Mr. Azaccheus - why she was unconscious in the snow, why she was wandering in no man's land, was not known at all.

Ten years have passed in a flash, and although she doesn't have that part of her childhood, Keri doesn't feel any pity - because that childhood, perhaps, is an extremely painful memory.

"Here's a note that was found together when we ran into you." Mr. Assahelis took out the notebook and handed it over to Cleary, "It...might help you remember something."

Keri's lips could not help but turn a little white, she grabbed the notebook with both hands but did not move, "Why, all of a sudden ......"

"Not all of a sudden." Mr. Azaccheus shook his head, "Actually, you weren't the only one who found you ...... there was also a woman."

"There was also... one more? So, what about the woman...woman?"

Mr. Assashears shook his head, "I'm sorry, she was dying when we found her ...... she held you close with her body to buy you more time."

"She...she was?" Cleary subconsciously gripped the arm of the boss of Assahelis.

"I don't know, and she didn't specify." Mr. Assahelis sighed, "She had a handful of bright red hair, which, according to my mentor Calvin, was from a people called the Celts, but extremely rare. As for you, you woke up and remembered nothing, so we didn't tell you anything about this woman. But you see, your hair isn't red either, so it's probably not much blood or anything like that ...... Of course, that's just a guess on our part."

Cleary's face became more complicated.

Mr. Azachez said, "Before she died, that woman entrusted me with her notes. She made it very clear that you can't pray ...... but if one day you are able to pray, I will give you this notebook. Now that your destiny system is open, I am able to keep my original promise."

"In this, there are clues about my birth ......" Keri looked at the notebook in her hand, startled.

"Maybe there is, maybe there isn't." But Mr. Azaccheus shook his head, "This notebook, we have studied it all, but unfortunately ...... we cannot open it. Of course, in order not to destroy the notebook itself, we didn't dare to use too rough a method. You might want to try it."

Keri slowly opened the notebook.

"It's really open." Mr. Assahelis' eyes lit up, "It's amazing, I've tried occasionally over the past ten years, using every method I could think of, all to no avail ...... See anything?"

"Boss Assashears ......" only to see Keri now hold up her notebook, flip it open, and subconsciously say, "It's all...blank."

"Blanks?" Mr. Azaccheus frowned.

Now that the notebook was open, he took it from Cleary and flipped the ...... notebook back and forth from front to back and back to front several times, and it was indeed blank.

"It was indeed given to us by the woman who found you." Mr. Azaccheus shook his head, "This is something that my mentor, Calvin, and Ludik can attest to. Because they were there ...... as you know, didn't you also see them with me when you woke up? As to why it's blank, I'm afraid it's only up to you to solve the mystery."

"I trust you, boss." Cleary nodded.

In his younger days, Boss Azarchese, the Ludicrous Campus President, and Calvin's Great Scholar had traveled together in the Seven Capitals, even exploring many strange regions outside the boundaries of the Seven Capitals.

In order to facilitate their travels, these three men even formed a band called "Fire-Bomber", and Mr. Azaceth even changed his stage name to "Hot Air Azazel".

Later, because of the relationship with himself, the travel became inconvenient, and eventually this part of the trip ended ...... back to the [Free City], Cleary lived as a maid in the [Rosebud Mansion].

Until now.

"By the way, Boss Assahelis, that woman, you guys later?"

"We buried her under a cedar that was found near you." Mr. Azaccheus thought, "It's been so many years, but I think I can still find the general location ...... may be able to take you there when I get a chance. Now, you should go rest, after all that has happened this evening, I think you need a quiet environment."

But Keri shook her head, "It will be dawn soon, I should go and prepare some breakfast for the residents. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'm going to be complained about again by that Miss Youkai ...... her eyes, they're really super scary! Obviously so beautiful looking said ......"

Mr. Azaccheus couldn't help but nod in agreement, "It's true that some ......"

......

......

"Mr. President, I really...really don't know ah ...... Leave me alone, leave me alone!

President Baron woke up early and was enjoying a breakfast prepared by the hotel ...... in front of the guard, who was now on the ground, twitching.

Next to him, two of his bodyguards were holding rubber sticks - the murder weapon.

President Byron threw his knife and fork away and wiped his lips with a handkerchief before saying, "Look, I've finished my breakfast, and you haven't given me any useful information. You are aware that I hate just inefficiency."

The heavily injured janitor on the ground did not dare to look at the President's eyes, but repeated: "I really do not know, Mr. Fahie went somewhere ah ......"

"Fine, since you really don't know, I won't embarrass you." The Grand President, however, waved his hand at this point and said, "Come on, go feed the rats in the sewers of [Freedom City]."

As he watched the two bodyguards lift themselves right up, the man at the gate said in horror, "I say! I said, Mr. President, don't feed me to the rats ...... I'll say anything!"

......

"So, Fahie was leading someone to follow the intruder and never came back." The President was now leaning back in his chair, "Also, there was a shortage of [holy water] for me, right."

"Yes...yes ......" the janitor was shaking all over, "I, that's all I know ...... Grand President. Please let me go."

"Am I not usually nice to you?" President Byron asked coldly.

The janitor squeezed out of his throat, "Yes...very well."

"If you want [Holy Water], you can just ask me for it, so why do you have to steal it?" The President shook his head: "Would you ask me for it and I wouldn't give it to you? I'm really disappointed in you guys."

"Yeah...sorry, sorry!"

President Byron sighed and waved his palm, and instantly several of the bodyguards turned around. ...... Shortly after the bodyguards turned around, they heard the miserable screams of the janitor's man.

They still never turned around, but with the sound alone, it was as if they could imagine the janitor's situation.

"Big...Big President?"

"Don't you really want [Holy Water], I'll just give it to you, lots and lots of [Holy Water]."

"No...no! I don't want ...... I don't want it!!!"

President Byron grabbed the man's hair at the back of the janitor's head with one hand and lifted his head up, then President Byron leaned down and fiercely opened his mouth.

In a split second, a puddle of grayish-black liquid, like open tap water, was vomited out of President Byron's mouth!

The liquid, not only poured into the janitor's mouth, and even flooded his face, and then slid down to his whole body ...... And in the middle of this liquid, there is actually a thread-like gray worm as thick as wool, and has been long.

A long time.

President Byron stood up again, he tidied the bow tie around his neck, and combed his disheveled hair at the same time, before saying calmly: "Go and give the rats an extra meal."

The bodyguards then turned around slowly.

They looked into the eyes of the janitor who was in a puddle of liquid ...... and even crawled all over the janitor's body, but the janitor's face showed a strange smile.

A few bodyguards drew cold breath, but silently began to deal with the janitor, who had become a corpse.

The thread-like gray insects quickly disappeared as if they had vaporized.

"Mr. President, what about ...... Robert?" One of the bodyguards asked now.

President Byron opened a can of happy water and drank, "Robert?".

"Yes, after he got back, Mr. Fahy renewed his use of [holy water], only to have it refilled, Robert became manic and out of control, and just hasn't gotten better yet ......".

President Byron shook his head, "That's because you didn't give him a double dose of pleasure, but since it's out of control, let's give him another injection. I'm going out for a meeting with the administrators of the seven capitals. Robert will be fine until I get back, but send him off to feed the rats, too."

"I...we know what to do." The bodyguard nodded, "What about...Mr. Fahie's side?"

"Two days at the most, if he doesn't come back, he won't come back," President Byron said matter-of-factly, "Someone will take care of it. ...... prepared car."

......

......

Mr. Luo has always had the habit of going to bed early and getting up early, and this habit has been maintained up to now ...... As to whether something irreversible happened while he was asleep, etc., is it possible that he is still sleeping?

If something irretrievable has really happened, it is useless for him to be awake.

On the other hand, if it is something that can be salvaged ...... he will be able to salvage it when he wakes up.

It is even possible that these things would not have happened at all.

"The man Mr. Azaccheus brought?"

"Yes, I was afraid of disturbing you master, so I told them to be quiet." The maid lady said casually as she arranged Boss Luo's clothes, "It's quiet in the latter half of the night."

"I'm not so easily woken up." Boss Luo said with a casual smile, "I should be quite a sleepy person."

Whether Boss Luo had a wake-up smell or not, he didn't know for sure, and the maids never mentioned this - it was Ren Ziling who had mentioned it to him before.

He actually had a wakefulness.

"Does master want to meet those people now?" The maid asked softly.

But Boss Luo opened the curtains of the room, looked out at the [City of Freedom], and suddenly smiled, "The sunshine is nice today."

The maid lady couldn't help but blink her eyes.

Boss Luo smiled, turned around and put a finger to his lips, "Aren't you going to add another splash of color under this glorious sunshine."

The maid lady smiled beautifully and walked up slowly.

......

"Good morning, Mr. Azaccheus."

The voice, coming from upstairs ...... was dozing at the lobby counter, suddenly woke up the boss of the Assahelis a head knocked to the edge of the table.

The pain ...... was naturally very painful, and he burst out screaming.

"Mr. Assahelis is also very energetic today."

"Surprised by you, it's impossible not to be spirited even if you want to be, isn't it?" Boss Assahelis rubbed his head and smiled bitterly, "You're finally awake ...... Keri is ready for breakfast, I'll go and bring it to you."

It wasn't that Boss Assahelis didn't want to say more, it was mainly because the maidservant lady was [looking] at him at the moment, making his heart furious.

Seeing that Boss Assahelis hurriedly ran out, Bertrand also stood up in a hurry and said unconsciously, "Good morning, Auntie ...... well, Mr. Lowe."

"Good morning, Mr. Bertrand."

Bertrand even said with a serious face, "Mr. Lowe, I've been watching these guys all night. Only since these guys have been here, there seems to be an extra pair of eyes outside the mansion. I didn't want to disturb you, so I didn't turn ...... off anyway, and the guy doesn't seem to have any plans to come in for a while."

"Mr. Bertrand is very reliable." Boss Luo said with a small smile.

Bertrand accosted, wanted to say something, and then didn't - mainly because the holy lady's lord is now [looking] at him, looking at his heart also hairy.

The few guys on the ground, Mr. Luo didn't pay much attention to them, he just took a glance at Fahy, who had been standing there all night.

After this glance, Fashi's body suddenly shook, then suddenly collapsed on the ground, like an exhausted man, his eyes, at this moment even shadowed, as if sunken.

"Holy...Holy ability!" Fahie, who was paralyzed on the ground, was now filled with fear, "You...you're Holy Powers!"

"Holy Power?" Boss Luo blinked and smiled: "It is a good thing to be able to generalize with your own perceptions, in fact, what is also ...... your name is Fashi, right."

He was even more frightened, and his body even shivered a little, but instead of being pale, his face became more and more red ...... even as if it was burning red.

At this time, hot smoke began to escape from Fahy's body.

As if he was in great pain, Fahie's eyes swept wildly and then stared over at the coffee table - on top of which were all the things that Bertrand had found.

Farhi jumped at the coffee table in a flash, but instead of grabbing a weapon, he opened a metal box urgently.

Inside was a one-finger syringe ...... Fahie didn't even think about stabbing himself in the arm with the syringe.

"Mr. Lowe?" Bertrand now frowned.

But Mr. Luo only shook his head gently, allowing Fauci to finish the injection.

At that moment, Fauci, who had finished the injection, fell to his knees on the ground, but the painful look on his face gradually faded, and a strange and satisfied smile was revealed instead.

In a moment, Fahy slowly breathed a sigh of relief and stood up again, "[Holy water] just finished injecting the best effect, this time I will be particularly awake ...... So, what do you want to ask me? Whatever it takes, all I ask is to not experience that endless running environment again."

Bertrand had a special inner Emmmm ...... clarity at this point?

Are you sure you're not becoming particularly afraid of death?

But then Boss Loh smiled casually and said, "Mr. Fahie thinks we should ask something."

Fauci frowned as he thought, "Aren't you...here for the President's secret?"

Boss Lowe said, "Then ask the president of ...... what secrets will be kept."

"This?" Fahie ...... Fahie thinks it might be that [Holy Water] hasn't taken effect yet!

He doesn't seem to be awake at the moment?

Seeing this, Bertrand couldn't help but open his mouth: this future uncle, and the Holy Maiden's similarities are somehow compatible, no wonder they can be together ......
